- RFK Jr. has fought to remove his name from presidential ballots since he ended his campaign in August.
- The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied his two last-ditch requests in Michigan and Wisconsin.
- RFK Jr., who has since endorsed Trump, will remain on the ballot.
It’s official: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will remain on the ballot in Wisconsin and Michigan.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied two last-minute requests from Kennedy’s lawyers filed this month in an effort to remove his name from the ballot in the crucial swing states .
The denial ultimately ends Kennedy Jr.’s efforts to get himself off the tickets and may be a blow to Donald Trump’s campaign for reelection — which Kennedy endorsed after he dropped out of the race in August.
“Our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues,” Business Insider previously reported Kennedy said at a news conference prior to endorsing Trump.
